23 Months Old!

Andi is now 23 months old! I can't believe it!!! The time is going by so quickly! I need to stop blinking! She's such a busy little girl! It's hard to keep up with her, but it's so much fun trying! She's still talking up a storm and playing with her baby dolls! She's pretending so much these days! I love watching her play! Naps are her least favorite time of day right now, but she has to have one to re-energize her batteries! I don't know how she does all she does in a day! Terrible two's have arrived in some areas (like eating out in restaurants so it's good that we don't do that often!), but she's still our sweet girl who likes to mind and please Mama and Dada for the most part. We're so excited to celebrate her 2nd birthday with her next month! Really can't believe it's time to start planning that party!

July 2010

We visited Grammy and Grumpy in July and had a great time on the farm! Andi loved the big pool...well, she actually loved the slide more than being in the pool, I guess. That's all she wanted to do!She also loved Grumpy's horses. She would spend hours at the fence petting them if we had let her. She was a little timid when it came to riding one, but she warmed up to the idea. We may have a horse whisperer on our hands! She enjoyed the "works" as she called them on the 4th of July. She's definitely our little sparkler! Once we got home, she had apparently picked up a few new habits. One of which you'll see below. I found her on the couch one afternoon with her leg propped up and "texting" on a calculator she had found. So funny! She'll soon surpass her mother's technology knowledge! We're having a great summer so far! It's going by too quickly!

22 Months Old

Andi turned 22 months old on June 9th. It's unbelievable to me that she's almost 2!!! She's doing so much these days! Talking more and more (which means we're learning a new language!). Playing with her dolls, purses, play jewelry, plastic animals, reading books, etc. etc. etc. She loves to be outside and to swim! She's so sweet but also has a little daredevil in her too! She's very particular about things and will let you know if she doesn't like the way you hold her baby or whatever it is she's asking you to do. :) She's so much fun and such a blessing to us each day!

June 2010 Fun Summer!

Andi loves reading books these days! I walked in her room (she had been really quiet for a while which is never good) and found her in a pile of books by her bookshelf. Too cute to not take a pic of! Hopefully her love of reading will stay with her for a long time!She also loves her babies! Found her in her room one day feeding baby at her table. She takes a baby everywhere with her and can't go to sleep without a couple in her bed! Such a girly girl! She's still loving her pool! She has gotten a little braver with the slide going face first and even of the wrong end of the slide into the deeper end of the pool. She's a little like her Dada, I think! :)On Father's Day, Andi decided to share her toys with Cody! She kept bringing him toys until he couldn't hold anything else! Andi is learning about using the potty. One afternoon I walked in and found her teaching her baby about potty training! Maybe this will help us in our endeavor! :)We visited Mimi and Pappy in June and went to play at the playground around Bella Vista lake. She enjoyed it. Wasn't too sure about the bridge though! She's such a ham!

May 2010 Lots of Fun Stuff!

I'm so behind in updating the blog! Sorry! I'm going to do a quick run through of our summer and get caught up! Enjoy!

Andi loves taking a bath, but she really enjoyed bath time with Dada on this night! He kept the water running and running and running! She loves to play in the water while it fills up the tub! We finally turned it off so the tub didn't overflow! Cody played softball with our church team this summer. Andi and I went to a couple of games (most were past her bedtime unfortunately). She enjoyed cheering for Dada and wearing her Dada's Fan Club shirt I made her!
Since she has gotten so big, we bought her a new pool for this summer. She loved it! It has a great slide, two water areas, and sprinklers that spray out! She played so hard she wore herself out! She didn't want to get out of the pool though! We visited Harding on our way home from a weekend trip since we were going through Searcy. Andi hadn't been there before so it was neat to take her!
